So I've been thinking as to what lead to this Grimbark fiasco in the first place. The most direct thing that caused this was the B1 Fall of Prospit. This lead to Dream-Jade's death, which lead to Jadesprite, which lead to Dog-Tier, which ultimately allowed )(IC to control Jade.
Okay, so what caused Prospit's fall? Jack Noir. How? The Black Queen's ring. How did he get the ring, or in other words, why? He refused to wear the Harlequin uniform. What caused the Harlequin uniform to be put in place? John's pre-entry prototype of the Harlequin Doll. How did he get the doll? A gift from Dad-Egbert. Why? Because of John's subconscious Harlequin scribblings on his walls, which lead his dad to believe he had a genuine interest in them. Why did John draw these? Because of his nightmare's caused by Gamzee. Why did Gamzee do this? A combo of sobering up plus the "Miracles" video Dave sent Gamzee. Who gave the video to Dave? Betty Crocker.
In the most absurd loop imaginable, )(IC set in motion the actions that lead to her control of a powerful, part first guardian, space player. All in all, I doubt )(IC had this much foresight. I think it might of been because of an order by L.E. to send Gamzee over the edge so he could start working towards L.E.'s uprising.
However, that is in the past of paradox space, and nothing can change that. And before you say John, keep in mind how drastically different the story would be if these actions had not happened, and how that would affect the current story. It would cause Homestuck to drag on for another 4 years. All we can do is hope the Grimbark fiasco is resolved peacefully in the present. Aww, who am I kidding? Jade is going to die, I don't want it to happen, but it probably will.
